How do I get text form fields to word wrap in an MS Word form when the
questions and fields are within a row of a larger table?

Thank you!

You will need to change the table so that the row height is not set to an
exact figure. The person who designed the form, probably did not want the
row height to increase.

Also, you may want to set the column widths to fixed values, and turn off
"Automatically resize to fit contents" for the table (Table Properties,
Table tab, Options button).
